300 (Western Regions: Bamboo Forest at the Foot of Huoling Mountain)
Some walked barefoot, stepping on soft, warm sand.
Although it is indeed comfortable to walk this way, it has a fatal flaw - it is easy to tan!
Those who walk barefoot and wear no shoes all year round have black feet like ink, and those who walk on straw sandals and bark shoes do not look closely to see which is the tanned root turf and which is the human foot......
There were only a few people hurrying to the streets, as if because of the recent strong winds, and there were only a few people selling nuts and bags of water on the side of the road.
"Hmm......" Shen Feiya walked up to a person wrapped in a pile of rags, looked at the only nut on the ground, and bit her finger.
In one of the stalls, the old man sat cross-legged with his head bowed, his back bent. In front of him lay a low, arm-length tin basin containing dozens of nuts that didn't look fresh.
She is very entangled now, if she buys it, how to distribute it to others, if she doesn't eat it, then there seems to be no other delicious food here......
Jingle twice, Zi Ling'er put a few copper coins in front of the person, the man looked up, said thank you with a slightly vicissitudes of cheeks and voice, and then stuffed the copper coins into the pocket on his chest, stretched out a pair of perennial hands, picked up the dozen nuts in front of him, and put them in Shen Feiyan's hand.
Shen Feiya smiled at Zi Ling'er, then wiped the husk indiscriminately, opened her cherry mouth, and put the nut into her mouth.
With a grunt, Shen Feiyan spit out the nut intact, and she quickly covered her cheeks with both hands, her teeth aching from the fruit as hard as a stone. As soon as she let go, the nuts fell to the sand with a gurgle.
"Heh~ stupid ......" Hua Xinyue muttered in a low voice, looking at Shen Feiya at this time, she was in a good mood.
Seeing this, Zi Ling'er hurriedly squatted down to pick up a few nuts, and when she picked them up, she saw a figure appear in front of her, blocking part of the sunlight in front of her.
When Zi Ling'er looked up, she saw a familiar figure.
Zi Ling'er stood up and looked at the people in front of her, her clothes really didn't look like the ordinary residents here, because her clothes were extremely bright, compared to those residents, she was like a desert rose blooming in the wind and sand, and her appearance was very beautiful and dazzling.
Her clothes wrapped her whole body tightly, a gauzy and breathable clothes fluttered in the wind, her face was covered with red veil, and a string of golden shining headdresses on her forehead hung down, like the finishing touch, instantly enhancing the beauty of her whole person.
"...... are you" Zi Ling'er really couldn't tell who the person in front of her was? Hua Xinyue, Chongming and Shen Feiya on the side didn't know who this was.
Just when Zi Ling'er was puzzled, she opened her mouth and said, "I didn't expect to meet you here by such a coincidence......"
This voice, this height, this dress. Could it be ......
Zi Ling'er said: "Princess of the Western Regions; Guo Fu? ”
"I didn't expect you to recognize me when you heard the voice, it deserves to be you!"
Guo Fu's eyes narrowed, as if he was smiling. Then she reached out and untied the veil that covered the lower half of her face, revealing a beautiful and delicate countenance.
Zi Ling'er saw that Guo Fu had lifted the veil, and she was not too embarrassed to continue to cover her face, so she pulled down the scarf that covered her face.
"Princess Guo Fu is so ......" Chongming and Hua Xinyue both bowed their hands, only Shen Feiya stood aside, looking at Guo Fu in a daze.
Guo Fu responded politely, then looked at Zi Ling'er and said, "Zi Ling'er, are these all your disciples of Yunxian Mountain?" How can there be such a small one? ”
"Ah, isn't this ......" Zi Ling'er looked at Shen Scarlet and smiled.
"Zi Ling'er, I haven't thanked you personally, I'm very grateful for what happened last time......" Guo Fu faced Zi Ling'er and bowed deeply to express her gratitude.
Zi Ling'er didn't say much, just looked at Guo Fu and bowed to her and thanked her. Because this bow and thank you also contains an apology, which is also what she Guo Fu owes her Zi Ling'er.
Zi Ling'er looked at Guo Fu and asked, "Why did Princess Guo Fu appear at the city gate?" ”
Guo Fu said: "My grandfather is going to go to the forests of the Southern Regions, and our witch doctor here told me that they have found a way to treat the wings of the red feather flying tiger bear. "Let's pick up the book
Hearing Guo Fu say this, Zi Ling'er felt that there seemed to be something suspicious in it, why did Guo Fu, as the princess of the Western Regions, go alone?
Zi Ling'er asked, "Just you?" ”
Guo Fuhan smiled: "No, my father said that he would guard me." ”
When Zi Ling'er heard Guo Fu say this, she felt that this matter was quite reliable, after all, Guo Fu's ability Zi Ling'er had seen it in the Royal Beast Villa, and it was not very strong, after all, she had not even reached the Ascension Realm.
"Since I have thanked you, I will leave the Western Regions first...... I'll come back in a few days, and we'll talk about other ...... then," Guo Fu said, covered his face and hurried away.
Zi Ling'er also nodded and beckoned to Guo Fu, but frowned as she watched Guo Fu leave. She always felt that Guo Fu would be in danger when she went, but after thinking about it, whoever went to the forest where there were many spirit beasts would feel this way!
……
Hua Xinyue and Chongming took Zi Ling'er and Shen Feiya to the foot of Huoling Mountain.
I have to say that the name of this Huoling Mountain is really not casual, there is thick white smoke rising from the top of this mountain, and the milky white smoke covers the top of the mountain, and the height cannot be seen.
At the westernmost end of the Fire Spirit Mountain, there is a river of lava flowing from the top of the mountain to a lava altar.
The edge of the lava altar is surrounded by flamestones of different shapes and sizes.
The lava was scorched black, and the black objects seemed to be very hard, and their surfaces were very smooth, as if they had been polished by time and time.
The mountains here are all bare, and the surface of the mountain is faintly green smoke in some places, and in other places it is charred and black, like the coal of the mine. Some of the stones are crystal clear, as gorgeous and beautiful as agate stones. Others are like bloodstone, blood red, as if human blood has been dried and condensed into stones, which makes people look at it and feel afraid.
Zi Ling'er and the others looked at this Fire Spirit Mountain as they walked, and couldn't help but sigh. It's really like purgatory on earth, hideous and terrifying, and full of weirdness.
As they walked, Zi Ling'er and the others saw a bamboo forest......
Bamboo forest?
Zi Ling'er looked at the small bamboo forest, and almost guessed that this should be the masterpiece of thyme, and after walking into the bamboo forest, Zi Ling'er was even more sure of her thoughts.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the bamboo forest, there was a green space and a bamboo house. instantly evoked Zi Ling'er's memories and gave her a sense of déjà vu.
Thyme is worthy of being a strong man, and even the house where she temporarily lives has to be built into the shape she likes, which is really capricious and powerful.
After Zi Ling'er and the others entered the bamboo house, they saw Thyme and the three of them sitting on a bamboo bench, drinking tea and meditating. After Zi Ling'er walked in front of them, Thyme put the bamboo cup on the table, looked at Zi Ling'er and said, "You send her away...... Spent three days? ”
Seeing that Thyme was obviously displeased, Zi Ling'er hurriedly apologized, "I'm really sorry......"
Thyme forgiving: "Three days is not much...... But the Yantian Spirit Peak Lion lives in seclusion in the Fire Spirit Mountain, and I once spent nine days, and I didn't find ......."
"Then are you sure that the Yantian Spirit Peak Lion lives in the Fire Spirit Mountain?" After listening to Thyme's words, Zi Ling'er felt that there was something strange about this matter.
Thyme said confidently: "If it is fake, the Yantian Lingfeng Lion can only live here, if I go to other places, how can I not find any traces?" ”
Zi Ling'er was silent for a moment and didn't answer, and soon Thyme stood up, and then Qian Yun and Ling Shan beside her also stood up.
"There are places I may not be able to go. When the time comes, you may need to put yourself in danger......" Thyme looked at Zi Ling'er and said this sentence alone. Looking at it, it seems that he has already talked to Ling Shan before.
"Hmm." Zi Ling'er saw that both Qian Yun and Ling Shan nodded lightly, so she also agreed.
Even if they risked their lives, Thyme would definitely not let them risk their lives, except for Ling Shan......
After all, she had always wanted to take Ling Shan's beast core.
